(create run on sentences much? 🙂 I feel much more knowledgeable at the perfume counter ……much like that tagline from a clothing retailer from some time ago referencing “an educated consumer.” Bottom line: Thank you for this fabulous resource!

Oh not at all — you’ll be able to buy it in stores as well. Just not sure they’re all stocked as of yet. And do consider the Monday Mail!

That’s a relief! It looks like I would have to obtain it online though and I don’t know how long I want to do this for…maybe it’s a sign that I need a change? So I will get a couple of bottles but will continue to read the site and follow you on FB. I don’t know if you can do this but..if you remember what it smells like, could you think of a perfume with similar tones? Please do let me know if you can….thank you again. Joane

Prescriptives is gone, but Calyx will stay in production, in fact, it’s just started reappearing in stores in slightly new packaging. Check Nordstrom, they do have it online.

I need your help! I have been wearing Calyx (Prescriptives) for 20 years….as you know, it is not available anymore. I have been trying to learn about perfume, smell them, try them, but alas….nothing made me think, ”I need to have this” like I thought when trying Calyx for the very first time. Any recommendations? I like the earthy tones of the Aveda products and although I don’t mind spraying their ”perfume” in a room, I wouldn’t wear it. Help! Thank you in advance…

Thank you for your attention. Please do let me know if you come across any sources of genuine fragrance in India, including webstores.

I really don’t know any good tips. In the US, fake perfumes are usually only found on the street, not in reputable stores. And I’m afraid I know nothing about perfume stores in India.

Sorry to be so little help!
